The Big, Bad Kurattai

Abhi Krish

Cheeky Raju gobbles every last dumpling in the bowl. He then leaves behind an odd mystery to solve for his younger sister, Pinju, who promptly mixes up the words kurattai (snore) and kuzhakattai (dumpling). Thrown into this jumble is a rebel grandfather and an exasperated mother. A comedy inspired by the text of the nursery rhyme, 'Amma, Amma, kuzhakattaikku kannum undo dee?' (Mom, Mom, do dumplings have eyes?), join Pinju as she cracks down on the case of an errant dumpling all while dealing with the dynamics of her wacky family! A story in celebration of Singapore's Tamil Language Month 2019.
